Our verification notes

Indiana requires non-residential buildings in a mapped floodplain to be elevated or dry floodproofed to the Flood Protection Grade (base flood elevation plus two feet), with the Floodproofing Certificate signed by a registered PE or architect. This firm is qualified to certify: it employs licensed PEs who are also CFMs and does FEMA map-change work. We found no public record of a signed floodproofing certificate, so read this as capability, not a delivered service. Address confirmed at 111 Monument Circle Suite 3500; an older Washington Street address still circulates in stale listings.
